You want me, my garden, my roots
To bend your way
You would brave the thorns and the vines
To find me there
You will get what you're after
I won't ever forget
The way that it felt
As long as I live
You want me like you want the truth
To read your way
You would write your own provenance
To put me down
You will get what you're after
I won't ever forget
The way that it felt
As long as I live
I will carry it with me
It's my burden to bear
I will take it everywhere
I will make it everything
If there's a way
I'll seek it out
I'll follow it down
I'll walk off the edge, come on
You want me, my color, my shade
To look your way
You would paint a portrait of me
To throw it in the fire
You will get what you're after
I won't ever forget
The way that it felt
As long as I live
When you get what you want
You find it's all violet
Go on, take everything
I will live through this

What an Auspicious Sign
03:23

In the wind, in the waves
In the rising tide
Far away from the coast
On the open sea
That's where I wait
That's where the anchor's fixed
Of salt and smoke
Of the never-ending blue
In the cold, in the gloom
Of the ocean floor
In the black, the abyss
In the emptiness
Where no sailors dare
A world so far from theirs
Where the shipwrecks sit
Like bones on the ocean floor
That's where I wait
That's where the anchor's fixed
Of salt and stone
In the crushing weight below
I will build a temple
At the bottom of the sea
I will build a temple
A cathedral in the reef
I will build a temple
Sanctuary in the deep
I will build a temple
10,000 leagues will bury me
In the cold, in the gloom
At the bottom of the sea
In the darkness of the abyss
Where the void will swallow me

I am lost all the time
I need a map to find my way
I am tired all the time
I need to sleep to stay awake
If there's a way to shake this haze I'd like to know
If I cannot find my way I'll be a ghost
I am cold all the time
I need a fire to light me up
I am scared all the time
I need a wall to keep me safe
If there's a way to shake this haze I'd like to know
If I cannot find my way I'll be a ghost
If there's a way to lift this curse please let me know
If I cannot cleanse this place the haunting won't end
If there's a way to break this spell I'm begging to know
No matter the price, whatever it takes
I'll do anything to lay this to rest

You Don't Care About Me
03:19

I don't care about the truth
I only care how it feels
I don't care about your time
I only care about mine
And I don't mind
I don't care about you
I don't care how you feel
I don't care what this means
I don't care what is real
And I don't mind
Did you think you found my weakness?
Have you ever been so wrong?
Did you think I would believe it?
Have you ever been so lost?
And I don't mind

"To the Earth, I write this letter far too late
As I sit in the prison that I've made.
Though I'm not the only one to be blamed
I surely played my part."
It's already lost
It was over before it began
The dye has been cast
An admission we penned in ink:
"To the earth, I hope this message finds you well
But it won't, you've been ill for quite some time
Though I'm not the only one who didn't help
I could have done my part."
It's already lost
It was over before it began
The dye has been cast
An admission we penned in ink:
"What you gave we so happily took
With trembling hands, afterbirth.
What you lost we so easily found
With little intent to return
From your well, we so readily drank
'Til our silver cups overflowed
From your garden, we took what we pleased.
We took everything from the Earth."

The Long Goodbye
03:27
|

I don't want to see the sun
I don't want to see at all
I want to cover up my eyes and live in darkness
I don't want to hear a sound
I don't want to hear at all
I want to shut out all the noise and live in silence
I want to be alone
It's a beautiful day and a wonderful time
To live inside my head
I closed all the doors, I turned off the lights
And said goodnight
I don't want to feel the wind
I don't want to feel at all
I want to block out everything
It's a beautiful day and a wonderful time
To live inside my head
I closed all the doors, I turned off the lights
And said goodnight
I want it all to end, I want it to be over
I want it all to end, to go back to nothing again
It's a beautiful day and a wonderful time
To live inside my head
I closed all the doors, I turned off the lights
And said goodnight
